Thus, firm-resolv'd, and that whole Starry night
Watch'd out, Both in their cloathes, till faint Dawn-light
Peep'd smiling on them; All how slumbring, close!
Lull'd like Sleeps drowsie Babes! th' whose ample house
Turn'd Charnell, meer Tomb! eithers Linnen-store,
Polindor's robes, her Jewell-box (no more)
Were nimbly took, and left oth' open Board
Large Paper, did this feign'd device afford.
